Verdict
During pre-launching interactions, Microsoft said it’s placing the Lumia 640 XL against Samsung’s mid-ranger Grand series, big-display devices; expressly ignoring the challenge presented by the Micromax, Xiaomi, and others in an identical section. The company has seemingly missed the Grand lineup that no more have the great impact and by pricing the mobile at Rs. 15,799, Microsoft surely neglects to recognize the existence of the Micromax’s Yu Yreka and Xiaomi Redmi Note that offer similar specifications – and an ecosystem with a substantially larger set of apps – at almost half the cost.
Like almost all Lumia mobiles, the Lumia 640 XL stands out for camera functionality and its battery life, but it is difficult to recommend this device to anybody given the alternatives already available in the marketplace.
